Directions

  1. Soak beans overnight covered by at least 2 inches cold water. If there's not enough time, place in a soup pot, cover with cold water, bring to a boil, remove from heat, and let stand 1 hour.
  2. Drain beans. Return to pot. Add 2 quarts cold water, ham hocks, bay leaf, and garlic. Bring to boil and add potatoes. Cover and simmer 1 hour.
  3. Stir in onions, celery, and carrots. Simmer, covered, 30 minutes. Uncover and simmer, stirring occasionally, 30 minutes longer, or until beans are soft.
  4. Remove ham hocks to a plate to cool. Remove 2 cups soup to a small bowl. Mash with a potato masher until smooth. Stir back into pot. When hocks are cool enough to handle, remove meat and finely chop. Return meat to pot. Stir in parsley, 1 tsp. salt, and pepper. Reheat if necessary and and taste for salt, adding remaining 1/4 tsp. if needed. Remove and discard bay leaf before serving.
